was tobacco culture. He said
his. father planted it for the first time

stated further that the cost per acre to
raise it was about $75 per acre, but
that the profits, with proper management
, ranged from ?100 to $200 per
acre?from four to six times that made
upon cotton. He lives near or at

Nuisance.?For the last, few nights
dogs have been traveling around town
making loud noises and greatly annoying
some of the citizens. Steps should

Disturbance.?On last Saturday ;
liiglit about 11.30 o'clock loud eursiDg ,
was heard on the street at the northern j
end of town. Several fusses are ,
also reported as occuring on the same (
night, in the southern end of town, ,
nearthe colored school house where a ,
festival was in progress. * On such ,
occasions it would be well to employ ,
one or two extra policemen, as it is |
impossible for one to watch both ends ,
at the same time. Extra policemen
were employed last year 011 such
occasions with benefit to the town, as
the fines secured in consequence of the
arrest, are reported te have more than
paid the expenses of the extra force.

A FEW DOTS FROM VS1 OS CHURCff.
Messrs. Editors: Xo news of any
importance in this community. Only
the weather is very hot and dry. We
have not had any rain to do any good
since the 27th of May, four weeks last
Wednesday. A few partial showers
passed around last week, but did no
?ood. Every thing is turning up.
[Jottoii looks bad. Uld corn will be
ilmost a failure, peas the same. Po:atoes
doiug very well. If rain don't
;orae soon I don't see how many of us
;an pay as mncli as 50 cents on the
lollar. This may seem strange to
iome of your readers for some have
lot suffered a day this year consejncntly
their crops are <rood.
The Rev. T. "YV. Scrnzirs held a larjje
ludience spell-pound for nearly an
ionr last Sunday night. His text was
he 24th chapter and loth verse of
Joshua: '-choosc yon ibis day whom
;<i will serve. But as for me and my
louse we will serve the Lord." He
)andltrt bis subject well.
While two .veil know^j gentlemen
vere on their way home from chnrch
bat night there was some very hot
vords passed, hut the timely apology

The health of 'die neighborhood is

briyht, beaming faces of every picknicker

corned by the young men and young
ladies of that, and other sections; it
was a day full or' pleasure for the old
as well as the young. The occasion
was the school picnic of that enthusiastic,
persevering and wide-awake
schoolmaster, Mr. Walter J. Keller.
It was about 9 o'clock a. m. when,!
I from the piazza of Mr. R. L. Martin's
home, wagons loaded with picknickers,
carriages and buggies filled with
the same merry creatures, and horses
and mules galloping and chaping with
their gallant riders, could all be seen
making headway for the oaks, and this
was continued until about 11 o'clock

farmers and their noble wives and
their fair daughters and their gallant
sons, and their interesting little children
leaping and bounding with joy.
Pleasure seekers were there from
Feasterville, Jenkinsvillc, Dawkins,
Monticello, Albion, Jackson's Creek,
Newberry, Wiunsboro and other
places. The very air echoed and reechoed
as the waves of pleasure and
gladness roae on the atmosphere.
At 10.8C o'clock a. in., silence
reigned, and after prayer by Rsv. j
Garriss, Mr. lveller began to examine
his classes. A splendid stand, decorated
and festooned with evergreens,
had been erected for the use of the
scholars and the older speakers.
Classes in Geography and Grammar
passed through the trying ordeal of
the rigid examinations most creditably,
reflecting alike on the thorough preparations
of the scholar and the skill and
efficiency of the teacher. Comparisons
are odious among school children as
well as among competitors in the business
world, but we cannot refrain from
mentioning that the examination
passed by Miss Bessie Bynain on English
Grammar was exceedingly good.
After the examinations, down from
Mr. Martin's house, where they adjourned,
came the pupils in double file,
appropriately costumed to assume the
respective rolos given below. Cheer
after cheer broke ou the air from the
audience as Summer Queen and Frost
Kinsr wit!) their attendants marched
upon the -land. The following are
the characters assumed in this 3iid j

well executed:

Messrs. Editor: The Tillman move,ment
is war upon established government.
It seizes those defects which
are inherent in human nature and
m-omises what it can never nerform.
It is incipient socialism and uses the
material best suited to its purpose?at
the North and in Europe the mechanics
and factory lands?here the discontented
farmer and the sore head.
Tillman has been called the great
bamboozler, to which might be added
the words?and leveller. What is all
this fuss about? That upon which
much of Tillman's abuse is founded is
the non-reapportionmentof representation
during a few rears.
? eii, to carry out me system wiin
perfect fairness a census should be
taken every two years or before each
election, since inequalities are sure to
arise during the ten years intervening
between census taking. Then why
make such a fuss about the inability of
the legislature to act at the regular
time? "Who is hurt except a few
office seekers? Each legislator represents
South Carolina and not simply
the county from which he is sent. Xc
conntv -will suffer by the absence of
: ; ...
one or two representative? nor gain by
navmg a lew more man men- jjupuiution
would entitle theni to. Often
one good man is worth more to
the State or County than a cow pen full
of such legislators as Tillman says his
farmers make. Xo doubt Edgefield
could make money by swapping off
her whole delegation for one good
member and the same may sometimes
uo said 01 rairneiu.
Tlie robber tariff, which Tillman
savs does not concern us and which is
gotten up to make most money for
capitalist and least money for the
government will grind out of the
farmers of South Carolina on the one
article of <oltou tita $90,000 and yet
Tillman does not' show how Ins new
administrator would save one cent to.
the State or in any way benefit the
farmer. x.
THE 4 XXIVE US ART OF Y. Jf. C. A. AT
UXIOX.
On last Saturday morning, June 21,
in response to an invitation, ;i representative
of Tiie 2se\vs and Herald
started out to visit the second anni
vereafy .meeting of the Y. M. C. A. of
Union Church. After a pleasant drive
ofabout an hour and a half, in company
with Mr. A. A. Morris, we arrived
at the place of meeting and at
once repaired to the church.
The regular meeting of the association
was called to order at 9 o'clock
a. m. by the President, Mr. J. A.
Murray.
llvmn No. 1 was then sung followed
by prayer by A. Lee Scruggs. The
90th psa!ru was then read by Mr.
Scruggs, which was followed with
prayer by the Rev. T. "W. Scrag-gs. '
The religous part of the "regular!
meeting here closed.
The following are the officers of the;
Association.
President?J. B. Murray.
"Vice-President?A. Lee Scruggs.
Secretary?John R. Boyd.
Assistant.Secretary?E. A* Cloyd.
Treasurer?a. vv. ."Meeje.

The Secrelary:s report was 1 hen j
read by Mr. John K. Boyd. As this J
l'eport shows the present progress and
present condition of the Association
we will give it in full:
Secretary's report of Y. M. C. A. j
June, 21 1890.
Union Church. i
I respectlully submit fjr your information
the following statement, viz:
During the last twelve months we
have held twentv-eighc meetings ofour
A ~ * ? *-A on/^ nvot'oi*
-AsSOOIUtiUIl W1 JJl&l.-n; auu y: i>aivi>
Eight or' these were private and twenty
public, all of which wore well attended
on an average ot'lVoin tweuty to thirty
each night.
The Treasurer's book shows an expenditure
for preaching and sundry
accounts $25, cash on hand $28,65.
Since June 21st, 38S9, we nave sold
und given away 1) Bibles, 12 testaments,
5 psalm books and 2i gospel
hymn books. All or these were sold
ait and below first cost. We have yet
on hand a bookcase which cost $3 and
twelve Bibles worth $G,40.
At our anniversary las', year we lia'l
<*n <>.?r roll 50 members, of these 17
! were active members and 33 Associ
ate members. We,have now on our
roll 31 active members, 22 associate
members and 21 honorary memberstotal
74. Since Ja>f. year 1G associate
members have opcome active members,
or in other words have joined the
church of Gcd. Two of our members
have been called into our masters
ministry and are breaking the bread of
life to * large a id admiring congregations.
We hold regular weekly meetings.
Rev. W. B. White preachy tor "us
twice each month ai>d Rev. E. S. Lupo
j preaches once each month. We have
good attendance on all our services
and we have reason to hope for a eontinuence
of good work among us.
We are glad to welcome you all on
this occasion and hope you a pleasant
and profitable day.
Alter the Secrotsry's report was
read, an address of welcome was .delivered
by the llev. E. W. Mason, one
of their members who joined the
i Association on the day of its orgoniz;
ation. Mr. Mason spoke for about
fifteen minutes in which he briefly reviewed
the history of this Association,
commended the interest shown in the
tTT?i.L- hv thA lArljps and nropd the mem
bers to continue their ellorts aud not
allow any obstacles or drawbacks to
abate tbeir zeal in the good work.
The speaker showed by his manner
that he felt a deep interest in the Association
and had its welfare at heart.
The address of Mr. Mason was to the
point, well delivered and made all
visitors feel at ease and that they were
among friends.
After the address of welcome, Rev.
J. U. Stoll was introduced to the
audicnce and delivered a very instructive
and entertaining address in which
he showed conclusively that Christianity
had a tendency to build up man
socially, morally and intellectually
and that such as joined associations of
this character were sure to be benefitted,
if they entered the same in a
proper spirit and with gcod motives.
The speaker went on to show why
associations of this kind would make
better men and women and among the
numerous reasons assigned, the principal
one was the fact that the members
would feel that there was a great responsibility
resting upon them and
would endeavor by their walk and
conversation to exert an influence for
good. "While the speaker went on to
show, that none could excuse themselves
from the responsibility of life
by urging that they were not members
of any religions organization and that
the obligation to do good rested upon
all equally whether they were members
or not, yet experience had
always proved that such as joined religious
organizations always seemed
to feel an additional responsibility
resting upon them and that such fcei?
ing would lead to renewed and dilgent
efforts for the promotion of
Christ's cause and insisted that it was
the duty of a'1 to connect themselves
with some religious organization.
The next speaker called on to :ul(
dross the audience was the Ilev. T. W. I
Scruggs. Mr. Scruggs announced that-|
he was unprepared but without &ip- j
hesitation proceeded to deliver a. very
interestingjaddrcss in which he urged j
the importance of education upon a!i j
preseur. Tlie speaker showed ili.it an i
education was within the reach of all
if they would only utilize .heir spare
time and cited instances where great
knowledge had been attained by sitn- j
piV using' scraps ui uiub ill rciuiug j
and studying good books, instead ofj
trashy literature. The speaker urged
upon his hearers the importance~of
educating the heart as well as the
mind. Mr. Scruggs illustrated his
point by several "amusing anecdotes
/\nn %K n?oc? nnrtnllOl'Iv <in.
ix Li Li \J v vug u juou ??ao i/vvunai *j ?|/ i
propriate urged his hearers to spread
themselves and do some good.
Mr. Scruggs;'was followed by the:
Ecv. E. S. Lupo who eloquently com- j
pared the condition of the world mor- j
ally and socially fi'ty years ago with
the same condition at the present time
and urged upon his hearers the impori
taree of being ud and at their duty.
The Rev. "White was next in
troduced, and announced that be would
. only .-say a few words to fill up a
{vacancy, and the audicncc felt before
| he was through that it would have
I never do:ic to have left this particular
i vacancy nnlilJed, for he gave a brief

land and Ireland and from thence to
the United State.-. He effectually answered
the objections which had been
tiffed against the organization and
showed that organized efforts would
always result in good if directed in the
proper channel.
It was a little after middav when
! Mr. White finished his address, and
there was another vacancy to be filled,
which had been provided for in ihu
rnosr. ample manner by the Association
and friends around Union Church,
r Af (Ms :bo r.rnwrf rnnaired to
the grove in rear of the church, where
a most delightful and appetizing dinner
awaited them. The committee of
arrangements for the picnic did everything
in their power to make those
present enjoy tlieinsclvep; and it is
needless to say that the visitors did
ample justice to this pait of the programme
and the refreshments which
| were served from an adjoining table.

Alter the dinner was over Mr. A. A.
Morris took a photograph of the entire
assemblage. The members of the
Association alone wero then arranged
I in rear of the church and their photo[
graph taken.
After an intermission of about an
hour it was suggested that the assemblage
again repair to the church and
hear another address. The whofe
crowd seemed to be in favor of the
move with the exception of one individual,
who protested against it on the
| ground that there had already been
enough speaking for the day. A

that present had no right?, and as this
individual was unable to convert aay
one to his way of thinking on this particular
point the motion in favor of
resuming the speaking was carried by
an overwhelming majority.
After the crowd had again assembled
in the church the Rev. II. B. Garris
was introduced by the president in a
very feeling manner, in which he re
ferred to Mr. (Harris as the foundor
and father of this Association. We
then saw in the speaker the person
who on the grounds had endeavored so
hard to prevent a resumption of the
afternoon speeches. When he first
aroseoWe were unable to form a correct
jadgment us to whether it would.have
oeen fcvest to have followed his advice
and dispensed with the afternoon session,
for we had never beard Mr.
Garris speak before, but when he had
closed we were of the opinion that on
such occasions the committee in charge
of the dinner should always see that
xt.. L-ont owar tVnm fliA tahlft

until they have exacted an unequivocal
promise from him to deliver an after,
dinner speech, for on this occasion, if
if he had sn? ceeded in converting the
crowd on the ground to his way of
thinking, we would have missed one
of (he best addresses of the day.
rXhe speaker in the introductory part
of his address showed that he felt a
deep interest in this Association, that
its welfare was dear to his heart, that
ho cherished a just pride in its development
and entertained the sincerest
wishes for its future advancement
and welfare. He then proceeded
f<? liver a vcrv interessinsr rddress
on the subject, "Christian Character."
He showed that character
was not made or destroyed in a day,
and that it is a man himself who bniids
up or destroys his character, and that
a Christian character is the grandest
character of all. The speaker referred
to instances of individuals who had
taken high positions in the world as
strong political character but whose
private Jives showed a weak religious
oharacter. fie then paid,, a glowiug
tribute to the great Confederate leader,
Stonewall Jackson, as one who had a
strong military character, a strong
political character, a strong religious

to perform any duty; in short, as one
of the grandest of all grand characters.
We regret that our limited space
forbids us giving a more extended
account of this address, and in fact of
all of the addresses on the occasion.
After the close of the address of Mr.
Grarris, liev. B. W. Badenbaugh, of
Prosperity, was called on,-bat declined
to make a speech on account of the
lateness of ihe honr. He consrratn
lated the Association on its progress
and bid the members God speed in the
good work.
I The benediction was pronounced by
the Kev. \7. G. White and the exercises
of the day were closed.
The progress of this Association has
been somewhat remarkable. It was
organized two years ago principally
through the influence of the Kev.
ty. B. Garris. At its organization it
had only eight members, but its devel*
opment has been so rapid that to-day
it has on its roll seventy-four members.
Those who are in a position to know
say that since its organization its influence
in the community has always been
for good,. and that there has been a
marked improvement in many of its
members. The deep interest manifested
in the proceedings last Saturday
show that the people of the neighborhood
are deeply interested in the Association,
and will spare no pains to keep
up a lively interest in the meetings.

to the article signed "Old Clod"
you have me to say I am "glad," when
it should be ' afraid.7' I also said that!
I was nly one. uot the only one etc.
Mr friend seems to be very much
alarmed because Tillman men only,
were at the picnic referred to. Well I
will endeavor to quiet his nerves by
saying that there are bin few in this
community who are opposed to Tillman
and of course we are not responsible
for the crowd being unanimous
for the Captain. I confess that I much
prefer handling a hash spoon, and that
I can co it with more grace than 1 cau

this is a campaign of education. Well
I have learned a good deal to-day.

We all agree that the boat of :7G was

curative power superior to any other article.

of proprietary medicines without
